Sun in Cancer is a site-specific installation comprised of sound, light and mixed media sculptures. It is constituted by sex audio channels, sound-sculptures, tridimensional visual scores casted in steel and the total transformation of the glass surface of the space. This project is an evocation of the work of Johanna Magdalena Beyer (1888- 1944). Reaching into the past and drawing connections to present-day existence, Sun in Cancer creates a counter-hegemonic genealogy of ways of being-in-the-world and is an homage to Beyer's revolutionary (and lost) political opera Status Quo (1938).

When the artist and the content of the work is lost for more than 70 years, things get hard to put together. Bringing herstories from the past also embrace the deviations that are structurally necessary to the development of modernity and future. We live in the "day of ghosts", forced to mime our emotions, now cheap commodities, while still digesting the lost identities through history we continue to fight the death by repeating the words of the dead.

(...) The constellation of elements in the show are supporting the theoretical material surrounding their production- the research in Beyer's archive along with the attempt of reconstruct the original score which only few minutes were put together of music and text - in a way they are designed to frustrate the very attempt to prescribe revolutionary conditions. The question of representation and the way which stereotypes have inscribed themselves into the Western visual vocalbulary challenges the audience to reflect on their own perception an cultural identity (...) Ranciere's emancipated spectator certainly need foreign aid from those bodies that were culturally rejected, but this would takes in a different channel. D.P
